There are two ways of spreading light. To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. - Unknown

You are not a kindergarten student of spirituality, so you must cease to think and speak as if you are a phenomenal object. You are the animating consciousness that provides sentience to the sentient being. You are the pure Awareness. You do not need to be liberated. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

You as Universal Consciousness are manifesting yourself as everything, but not split up into being an observer of your dsiplay. THe mirror is not experienceing it's reflections, the mirror is itself reflections. - Jackson Peterson

Spiritual - Quotes

May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.
May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.
May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon.
May you respond to the call of your gift and find the courage to follow its path.
May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul.
May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.
May the flame of anger free you from falsity.
May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and may anxiety never linger about you.
May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.

- John O'Donohue

This is my simple religion. There is not need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our won heart is out temple; the philosophy is kindness. - The Dalai Lama

Awakening is when One wakes up to realize that each being is an expression of Universal Consciousness, just as a wave is an expression of the ocean, each leaf an extension of a whole tree. - Unknown

The Role of Spirituality

Fully functioning persons have a deep sense of spirituality. They know that the world in which they live cannot be explained or understood through human experience alone. They know that they must make the ‘mystical leap.’ They must go beyond themselves, beyond their limited reality. They have an inexplicable sense of something more. They feel a greater operative intellect than their own, even if they are at a loss to give it a name. They are aware of a great design, incessantly operative, in which all is compatible and in which there are no contradictions.

Life offers us few explanations. We cannot be certain of the true meaning of life, the source of life nor life after life. Only we can fill the void which this incertitude creates. We can either accept in faith or select nothingness. Both are the same. Both will involve mind games, for neither offer definitive proofs. This does not mean that answers do not exist.

Some of us are unable to live without answers. The void is too totally frightening, too devastating. So we must create answers for ourselves. Some of us choose to live without answers. We find them unnecessary. We live out our lives without asking questions, living into answers. Both ways require the creating of a belief system for which there is no validation. Either choice embodies a living sense of spirituality which arises from the affirmation of the self through personal choice itself.

Spirituality, faith and mystery are inherent in every aspect of life.

To be in touch with nature, to feel deeply its moods, to experience fully its sorcery, to know how so-called ‘inanimate’ things work, is to become caught up in the spirituality and divinity of all things.

The spirit of each person and thing is present even if we are too asleep to experience it, even if we deny its existence. Spirituality involves an awareness of all there is and an openness to what is not. It is the strength and fearlessness to allow ourselves to transcend reality and ourselves.

Spiritual

You are here because this existence needs you as you are. Otherwise somebody else would have been here and the existence would not have helped you to be here, wouldn’t have created you. You are fulfilling something very essential, something very fundamental as you are!

You are eternal Consciousness, currently in this wonderful physical body for the thrill and exhilaration of specific focus and creation. The physical being that you define as 'you' stands on the Leading Edge of thought, while Consciousness, which is really your Source, pours through you. And in those moments of inexpressible elation, those are the times when you are wide open and truly allowing your Source to express through you.

Give yourself permission to Trust your Higher Self and then simply begin doing so. Accept your mistakes, learn from them and you turn them into lessons. Don't let doubt hold you back. Take a deep breath and just keep walking.

The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within us; we don't have to gain, develop, or attain them. We're like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don't need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and sky; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are.

We're all at different levels of our own development and evolution. What works for one person, certainly doesn't have to work for everyone else.

Meditation

Man needs silence, and an opportunity to meditate. One may even need to isolate himself temporarily from outside interference to be able to think through and assimilate his experiences, to attain understanding and insight into them. By watching for the illuminating gleam of intuition, listening for the whisper of the inner self, one can find new answers to his problems, new directions for his life, new ways to fulfil his dreams.

Our continued growth depends upon our ability to correctly channel our thoughts and knowledge into constructive achievement.

It is by seeking within that we learn to resolve our problems and difficulties. Problems which confront us now must be solved or we will meet them again along our spiral of development.

Spiritual - Quotes

The unenlightened human state is one of "faithlessness" in which an individual lives in slavery to the false self and the desires of the materials world. Spiritual practices aimed at transforming the compulsiveness of the false self and "Submission" to a higher order of reality. Without this submission, the real self is enslaved to the ego and lives in a state of internal conflict due to the contradictory impulses of the ego. The enslaved ego cannot perceive reality, and cannot receive the spiritual guidance and nourishment. Overcoming this enslavement and false separation leads to the realization and development of our true humanity. Spiritual maturity is the realization that the self is a reflection of the Divine.

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires. Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own furtive of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit; bad thought, bad fruit. - James Allen

Spiritual - Quotes

As sacred and glorious as each daily sunrise, the journey of life offers us all lessons that subtly imbue growth in all levels of being. Manoeuvring through life, our nature will inevitably be sculpted by many things – the environment, our genetics, our family and friends, our luck. And challenges or bumps that form upon our roads will also play a role – dis-ease, relationship issues, death of a loved one, a feeling of dissatisfaction with a life path, or just a plain feeling of not connecting. For the courageous, the search to overcome these trials will lead to paths of healing, be it through naturopathy, conventional therapies, energetic modalities, yoga, Reiki, prayer, self-exploration or even simply embracing adventure out in the world, travelling. - Millie Gounder-Flynn

Spirituality - Quotes

Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to… you have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide. Because he or she knows you through and through, since he or she is you, your guide can help you, with increasing clarity and humour, negotiate all the difficulties of your thoughts and emotions… The more often you listen to this wise guide, the more easily you will be able to change your negative moods yourself, see through them, and even laugh at them for the absurd dramas and ridiculous illusions that they are… The more you listen, the more guidance you will receive. If you follow the voice of your wise guide… and let the ego fall silent, you come to experience that presence of wisdom and joy and bliss that you really are. - Sogyal Rinpoche

Spirituality - Quotes

  Think often of how swiftly all things pass away and are no more – the works of Nature and the works of man. The substance of the Universe, matter, is like unto a river that flows on forever. All things are not only in a constant state of change, but they are the cause of constant and infinite change in other things. Upon a narrow ledge, thou standouts! Behind thee, the bottomless abyss of the Past! In front of thee, the Future that will swallow up all things that are now. Over what things, then, in this present life wilt thou, O foolish man, be disquieted or exalted - making thyself wretched; seeing that they can vex thee only for a time - a brief, brief time! - Marcus Aurelius

Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say, "Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world?" neither intolerable nor everlasting - if thou bearest in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination. Pain is either an evil to the body (then let the body say what it thinks of it!)-or to the soul. But it is in the power of the soul to maintain its own serenity and tranquility. - Marcus Aurelius
